Quick pick up and go Ukulele

Hello everyone. I was wondering if you could provide me with some feedback. I am trying to find a uke that I can grab really quick and take it places like to the park, front seat of my car (while I wait for my kids at school), to the beach, or work (on break). I am thinking that I want either a concert size, soprano long neck, or pineapple in either size. I am also looking to spend no more than $300.00. I own two tenors (my preferred size), a Pono MTD, Lanikai solid mahogany w/ spruce top, and a Kamaka concert. The tenors aren't as portable as I want because I have hard cases for them. I definitely baby my Kamaka and don't take it places outdoors. I want a uke that I can put in a soft case and not worry too much about it. Of course I wouldn't be banging it around or leaving it in the car. Here are some ukes that I have been thinking about:

Mainland Classic Mahogany Long neck Pineapple (does this fit in a tenor case? how much bigger is it than a standard concert?)

Ohana PKC-25GS Pineapple Concert (head stock is funky but nice)

Ohana CK-70WG Solid Spruce Top/Willow Concert Ukulele

Shimaukulele (since this uke is laminate is it worth getting? How would it sound compared to all the others being solid wood?)

Please let me know if you owned or played these ukes, if they sound good, and which would fit the description of what I want the most? I am also open to suggestions. Honestly the pineapple is very interesting to me so if anyone could suggest one that's better than the two I listed and that is within my price range, please do. Thanks in advance and Aloha!

As your preferred scale is tenor, take a look at an Ohana.
The CK35L, tenor scale, concert body, or the SK30L, tenor scale, soprano body, solid mahogany, both are small & portable with a good sound.
(Mine fit into a concert gig bag.)

For long neck soprano, Ohana SK30M solid mahogany, or one of the Kalas.
(Mine fit into a soprano gig bag.)

I have done something similar to what you are proposing, a take along uke...... but not one you will leave in a car and neglect. You have good quality great sounding ukes in your collection so buy something you will enjoy the sound of. I used an Ono custom built long neck concert as my "car uke", friends were aghast. But it went into the car with me in a high quality gig bag and I brought it back into the house at night, never had an issue.

Keith's recommendation of the Ohana CK 35L is a good one. I like a long neck concert for ease of transport and the tenor neck length. A friend has the Mainland longneck pineapple, another good choice. This will be an unpoplar statement but forget the plastic ukes. You are not leaving this out 24/7 , they don't sound close to the tone you get from a solid wood instrument. I own 4 non-wood ukes so I am well versed in what they sound like.

I own the Ohana CK-50 WG (cedar/willow) and it's among my favorites. I take it to jams all the time.

There's a Shima for sale on the marketplace. I borrowed one at a jam and was pretty impressed with the build quality and feel. If I hadn't just bought a Famous/Kiwaya (also from the Marketplace), the Shima had intrigued me.

We have an Outdoor carbon fiber tenor as our car ukulele. No issues with damage through the long hot cali summer.
That said, its on the quite side. I'm not crazy for the tone, as Dave said.
I MUCH prefer to play the cheap all laminates.
Kmise is my current fave. But I also have enjoyed Enyas, Donners, Kalas, and Kakas.

The Lanikai SPS line is a really nice satin finish. While to my ears other Lanikai ukes don't always measure up soundwise, the SPS-soprano I own knocks it out of the park. This line seems like is a sleeper given upgraded appointments of Grover tuners, binding, clean build, thick embroidered gig bag.

Guitar Center currently has a 15% sale (assuming the SPST is essentially the same uke as the SPS - but check that this is a concert and not a soprano, title is wrong).

Thanks for all the help everyone. I ended up buying a Koaloha Opio Super Sopano from HMS. I was going to get an Ohana but figured for 50.00-100 more I could get a Koaloha. What does everyone think of my choice? I based my decision on playing my friends Koaloha Super Soprano and watching videos. Now I just have to wait for it to arrive!

Congratulations, excellent choice that will keep you happy for many years. I owned a Koaloha Opio concert and it was great, superb quality and tone. A friend owned the Koaloha super soprano, same size as your Opio and it was fabulous. Well done and great choice.
